I need to figure out how to steal my wifes unlimited data, and let her have 4gig

Tmobile 4G user here. I typically use between 3GB-5GB's of data; Ive been throttled a few times for going over 5GB's (barely). 10GB's will be plenty.

Beginning to realize the same thing. Sad but it only appears to be a few people on here.

I have needed a new phone for months and months. Yes, I am worse at this point. I need it now.

Thanks!

I guess I will go with 10gb. I am still going to try and get my phone on my wifes plan, and add hers to the new slot..

Interesting to note how stupid a major corporation like Verizon can be. Not even getting their own phone info right. Says 32G pre-installed micro sd card when you click on accessories.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I wanted a this phone as soon as I could get it. My price is never going to go down (Not due for an upgrade till late next year) So what possible reason would I have for waiting to buy something I wanted?

Also: Yes it's awesome, First thing I've noticed tho is at a minimum the CDMA radio isn't as good as the Thunderbolts and ICS is going to take some learning coming from GB.

Nothings wrong with just doesn't grab signal as good as say a Motorola might. Samsung has always been weak in the radio department.

Also: You seem upset squirrel

I just went to verizonwireless.com and looked. I can upgrade at the discounted price of $250.00.

I think I'll wait a bit - get past the Christmas bills and the new baby, and upgrade in the early spring. My Incredible is rooted and I just put CM7 on it and it's running flawlessly (knock on wood), so I don't *need* a new phone right now. Plus, it'll be nice to let you yahoos weed out the bugs first

Snapped some quick pictures do see what the cameras like, The panorama came out poorly, mostly because I moved too fast several times I'm guessing.



Pictures with Flash are much improved over the thunderbolt


Macro-ish


And stepped outside and just started snapping, This thing takes pictures so fast it's almost hard to realize it actually took a picture!




And here's a max zoom picture


Also, I have no complaints abouts the camera, It might not be the 8mp shooter from the SG2's but it's better than most 8mp shooters.

Local BB is expecting 21 today. They are going to hold 2, price match vzw online price of $250 and pay us $240 dollars for a DX2, and call when they come in. Wife is on hot stand-by.

Went on VZW.com this morning, got all excited that I apparently have another $50 discount? So I can get it for $250... went through filling everything out and, sho 'nuff, still have to pay Arizona's lovely 9.8% sales tax. Might as well see if I can get it for the same price at the store today... I'll be going at lunch.

Minor quibble 1) The speaker is plenty clear and loud but ridiculously easy to cover up when holding in landscape, and when it's cover you can't hear **** since the opening for the speaker is tiny.

That's the same deal I'm getting in on. Works for me.

little store across the street from me is out of them already, the big Chicago Loop store isn't selling them till 1pm. I'm in meetings from 11:30 until 1:30, so hopefully they aren't all gone by then.
